Morris Chair Project! #2: Got the lumber today!

I love seeing the “before” shots.

Thanks, and congratulations, Charles !

I don’t think your shop is air-conditioned, but/so … will you need to acclimate the wood before you start on it, or … will the chairs be in the same sort of temp/humidity that you will be building them in ??

Very cool !

That a nice pile of lumber, good luck on your chair Charles…BC

I am not sure Neil, I dont have any AC in my shop. I usually dont let my lumber acclimate to the shop, and I have never had any problems with the lumber changeing with humidity.

More info please CJ! What plans are you using? Bow arm or guitar neck? $130 seems like a heck of a deal. I may need to make a run to Alabama.

Looks like it is good to be Charles today! Nice bit of wood there.

Looking forward to seeing your progress, CJ.

I think you will like working with Red Oak.
